Custom field type file: max size
October 28, 2008, 02:58:43 pm
Hello,
I have added a new custom field of type 'File' to my org profile and would like to limit the file size that can be attached to 5MB and the file types to .doc, .rtf, and .pdf. Is this part of a setting somewhere or do I need to do it by adding validation code?
I appreciate your help.
-Tara.

Thanks for your reply.
I do not see this option (Safe file extension) in option lists section of my Administer civicrm. I am currently running civicrm version 2.0.6. Is this option available in a later version of civicrm?

Yes, it's new in v2.1

Not sure if you have that level of control in previous versions.

for file size you will need to write a custom validation hook and check file size in that function

Since we are not moving to civicrm 2.1 anytime soon, I will write custom validation code.
Thanks for your help.
